Big Barry Bitcoin
2mo ago
Not gonna lie, there was a period when people were pushing for higher zaps, I set mine to 5,000 1,000 and 500.
After a while, even though I used 500 for small memes and stuff, I was seeing 1 sat and 21 sat zaps back and I ended up adding 21 and 50 to my list.
I also saw my ecash wallet balance going down and dropping a zero and got a little scared. Also the fiat value is rising.
I probably am a higher than average amount zapper but I want this to work in a meaningful way and I take into account that no advertiser is subsidising nostr, and others I share to are not gonna zap because they're not into all of this and they're not invested in seeing bitcoin succeed, they are, if anything focused on the price only.
I also find the idea of removing likes and only supporting zaps hilarious. It feels like memers who just want more zaps and I don't think it meaningfully improves the problem.
Sorry /rant.

Big Baller Barry! I think 21 sats is good for 'like' but then higher amounts are good when you really want to show appreciation. When you think about how much work Joe put in to this its worth more then a fraction of a penny. Its not a meme that someone rustled up, he actually had to tolerate all these shitcoiners.
